Answer:
The lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.
Explanation:
Length of curve is given as
is given as
The K value is given from the table 3.3 for 55 mi/hr is 115. So the value of A is given as
A is given as
With initial grade, the elevation of PVC is
The station is given as
Low point is given as
The station of low point is given as
The elevation is given as
So the lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.
A 260 ft (79.25m) length of size 4 AWG uncoated copper wire operating at a temperature of 75°c has a resistance of 0.0792 ohm.
Explanation:
From the given data the area of size 4 AWG of the code is 21.2 mm², then K is the Resistivity of the material at 75°c is taken as ( 0.0214 ohm mm²/m ).
To find the resistance of 260 ft (79.25 m) of size 4 AWG,
R= K * L/ A
K = 0.0214 ohm mm²/m
L = 79.25 m
A = 21.2 mm²
R = 0.0214 *
= 0.0214 * 3.738
= 0.0792 ohm.
Thus the resistance of uncoated copper wire is 0.0792 ohm
